As part of this task, WSB will work with City staff to implement the annual requirements of the MS4 permit
to ensure the City of Rosemount’s MS4 program remains in compliance in Year 5. The implementation of
these specific requirements has been divided into the following six subtasks:
2.1 General Program Support
As part of this task, the WSB Environmental Compliance Project Manager will provide staff
time in Rosemount as needed to assist staff with the implementation of the updated
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP), which was developed in Year 1. The
WSB Environmental Compliance Project Manager will also provide a quarterly written
summary to the City outlining the following items:
• Tasks for staff members to complete as part of the program implementation
• Any updates from the MPCA, LMC, MCSC, and VRWJPO that may offer benefits or
impacts to the City’s MS4 Permit Activities.
2.2 Annual Report & Annual Meeting:
The MS4 permit requires the City of Rosemount to submit an annual report detailing their
MS4 permit activities by June 30 of each calendar year. WSB will assist City staff with the
completion and submittal of the 2017 Annual Report. In addition, WSB will work with City staff
to facilitate one annual SWPPP meeting. City staff will provide responses to public comments
received.
2.3 Staff Training
The MS4 permit requires annual training of your municipal staff to communicate to all City
staff how their role may be impacting stormwater. Development of a comprehensive training
program is critical to the foundation of a compliant MS4 program. WSB will complete a 30-

minute training session for Public Works, Engineering, and Building Inspections staff, which
will include information on illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site best
management practices (BMPs), and good housekeeping practices. In addition, we will
provide materials from the training for make-up sessions or seasonal employees
commensurate with the requirements of the MS4 Permit.
2.4 Visual Pond and Outfall Inspections:
To-date, WSB has completed 100% of the required outfall inspections. WSB will provide a
staff member to conduct visual inspections of remaining ponds in Year 5. This schedule will
allow the City to meet the requirements to inspect all ponds by the end of the five-year permit
cycle. Inspections will be documented in accordance with the procedures established in Year
1 of the SWPPP Development and Implementation Plan.
2.5 Bathometric Pond Inspections
This task consists of inspecting/surveying six (6) ponds consistent with the SWAMP
inspection prioritization. The SWAMP application will be updated to reflect the inspection
results. Findings from the inspections will be used to develop maintenance
recommendations. If inspections indicate maintenance is necessary, a pond review memo
may be needed to identify the extent of maintenance. An additional scope can be provided to
generate pond maintenance design memos for those basins identified as requiring
maintenance based on inspection results.
2.6 Environmental Compliance Inspections:
WSB will provide an Environmental Compliance Specialist to complete weekly environmental
compliance inspections for new grading permits issued for development projects within the
City. This Specialist will manage the inspection and forward any results to the project owners ,
any pertinent construction professionals, and the City of Rosemount upon request. The
inspection will be visual and documented for NPDES and City Ordinance (Title 10, Chapter 1,
Section 12: Erosion and Sediment Control) compliance purposes. WSB will prep are an
inspection report detailing the inspection results. The compliance deficiencies will be
documented with photographs and site plan map locations to indicate any deficiencies. All
reports will be provided to the owner(s) within 24 hours of inspection completion. WSB will
complete the above tasks for an hourly cost of $92 per hour, including mileage to and from
the project site. The cost associated with this task has traditionally been a pass-through cost
to the development projects.
Deliverables: Four (4) quarterly General Program Support Meetings with City staff, assistance to City
staff with Annual Report, support for one (1) General Permit Annual Meeting, deliver one (1) MS4-related
training for City staff, pond inspection summary with maintenance recommendations to achieve 20%
inspection schedule, six (6) bathometric pond survey maps uploaded into SWAMP, and copies of weekly
inspection reports from the environmental compliance inspections for selected developments and
projects.
Task 3 – Additional MS4 Program Services – Water Quality Monitoring Program (Total Estimated
Fee: $24,550, Sample Testing Cost: $4,264)
This water quality monitoring program is included as an additional MS4 program service because it will be
used to fulfill multiple program requirements in minimum control measures (MCMs) 5 and 6 related to
inspection, long-term operation, and maintenance of infiltration BMPs. The water quality monitoring
program provides the City with empirical data that will assist with:

• Guiding upcoming Watershed and City Stormwater Plan Updates and discussions with observed
runoff volumes and infiltration and evaporation rates.
• Identifying potential areas to receive regional volume reduction credit thought stormwater reuse
applications.
• Validating pond treatment efficiencies from the SWAMP program with sampled Total Suspended
Solids and Total Phosphorus concentrations.
• Supporting conclusions in the City’s Non-Degradation Study with observed infiltration and
evaporation data.
• Creating a baseline for discharge volumes and pollutant loading assumptions of possible future
TMDLs in the Vermillion River and Mississippi River.
• Assessing winter pollutant concentration associated with snowmelt runoff.
As part of this task, WSB will evaluate stormwater runoff volume reduction and pollutant removal
performance of selected basins. This water quality monitoring program is intended to align with the MS4
General Permit cycle. The monitoring equipment purchased by the City in 2014 and 2016 will be utilized
in 2018. At the conclusion of the monitoring period, the 2018 data will be processed and a Final Report
will be prepared that includes a summary and trend analysis of data collected over the 5-year permit
cycle.
3.1 Collect Surface Water Elevation and Rainfall Data
The objective of this task is to monitor stormwater runoff volume reduction capabilities
through infiltration and evaporation, within selected basins in the City. WSB will install
continuous surface water level loggers to provide hourly water elevations du ring the
monitoring period. Water level data will be used to develop evaporation and infiltration rates
and rainfall to runoff ratios. Additionally, WSB will install two (2) continuous rainfall gauges
within the City which will provide the date, duration, and intensity of each rainfall event. The
basins selected to be monitored and rain gauged locations are identified in Figure 1. The
components of this task include:
• Install eleven (11) continuous surface level loggers within selected basins and perform
monitoring from April through October.
• Install two (2) continuous rainfall gauges.
• Monthly maintenance and data downloads to ensure proper operation.
3.2 Collection of Water Quality Samples
The objective of this task is to determine pollutant loading from watersheds with various land
uses within the City.
Pollutant Loading – As part of this task, WSB will collect water samples from ten (10)
selected basins as part of routine data collection activities to determine pollutant
concentrations. Sampling locations are identified in Figure 1.
Water samples will be collected monthly, for an estimated nine (9) months. Two (2) sampling
events will be completed during winter months of 2019 to assess snowmelt pollutant
concentrations from the six (6) locations identified on Figure 1. The remaining seven (7)
samples will be collected from April through October for all ten (10) locations. The samples
will be analyzed for the following parameters for all events:
• Total Phosphorus ($12)
• Ortho – Phosphate ($11)
• Total Suspended Solids ($12)
• Chloride ($17)

3.3 Annually Processing Monitored Data
As part of this task, data collected during the monitoring period will be analyzed to determine
interim infiltration and evaporation rates, rainfall to runoff ratios and reuse suitability
assessment.
3.4 Final Report
A final report will be prepared that summarizes the monitoring data that was collected over
the 5-year permit cycle (2014-2018). The report will present trends in infiltration, runoff, and
water quality for individual basins and City-wide. A discussion of the analysis will include:
• Pond treatment efficiencies for Total Suspended Solids and Total Phosphorus.
• Snow-melt pollutant concentrations evaluated against drainage area land-use.
• An evaluation of observed infiltration and evaporation data compared to rates
described in the City’s Non-Degradation Study.
• Recommendations for maintenance and/or management of monitored basins.
• Recommendations for infiltration basin design and life span.
